ARTArticleKundalini Healing - how to deal with the symptoms of kundalini awakeningKundalini symptoms are a natural by-product when people awaken the kundalini in their body and mind. The word ‘kundalini’ comes from the Hindu tradition and is used to describe a form of mysterious energy that lies dormant in all of us at the foot of our spine. When awakened this energy rises up the spine, purifies all chakras along the way until it reaches the head where it unites with its ‘divine spouse’ and the person reaches enlightenment. Kundalini energy has been described as hot, tingling and brilliant white energy.
